Exhibits will be judged in accordance with the rules of the relevant national societies, and the Royal Horticultural Society’s ‘The Horticultural Show Handbook’ (2016).
All prize money not collected on Show Day will be returned to Club funds.
The entrance fee for each exhibit will be 25p.
For Classes 1 (Top Tray), Class 22 (Top Vase) and Children’s (79, 85, 86 and 91), there is no entry fee.
All entries must be on official entry forms, and must reach Mr R. G. Lambert by 6.00 p.m. FRIDAY prior to the show.
Only one exhibit is permitted per exhibitor. This does not apply to Any Other Vegetable Class 21.
The Committee reserves the right to refuse entry and, in the event of such refusal, is not required to give any reason or explanation.
Exhibits must be staged between 8.30 - 11.00 am on Show Day. Each exhibit must bear a card obtainable from the show room. Exhibitors are responsible for placing and checking cards, and unless required for official duties must leave by 11.00 am.
In this schedule ‘kind’ and ‘varieties’ are defined as: Beans and Potatoes are kinds of vegetables. Majestic and Vanessa are varieties of potato.
Unless otherwise stated exhibits must be of ONE VARIETY ONLY. The mixing of TWO or MORE varieties will disqualify the exhibit unless expressly allowed by schedule.
In classes marked with an asterisk * exhibitors must supply their own plate or container. For all other classes, exhibitors can use either their own or club vases and plates. The club vases and plates can be borrowed before the show by contacting Mr R. G. Lambert. Please note — Bowl: a vessel with a mouth wider than its height or at least equal to it. Vase: a vessel of greater height than the width of its mouth.
Where possible exhibits should be labelled in ink with the name of the variety or varieties on the official card only. Correctness in labelling will decide in favour of exhibit in close competition.
Prizes may be withheld or modified if the exhibits are considered undeserving. The decisions of the Judges shall be final as to merits of the exhibits. The decision of the Show Committee shall be final on all matters connected with the show, and is not required to give reasons or explanations for any decisions made.
All exhibits, personal property, etc., is the responsibility of the exhibitor. The Committee will not be liable for any loss or damage to any cause whatsoever.

In section 2 foliage, when used, must be same kind as exhibit.
Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
Exhibits in the handicrafts and photography classes must not have previously been exhibited at the Woodham and New Haw Show.

TOP TRAY

Competition Rules

The Bourne Valley Top Tray class is for a collection of three types of vegetables taken from the following list of eight. The quantity of each vegetable required for the collection is given in brackets: Carrots (3), Cauliflowers (2), Onions (3), Parsnips (3), Peas (6 pods), Potatoes (3), Runner Beans (6 pods), Tomatoes (6). Each type of vegetable will be judged out of a total of 20 points. This is split into three sections as follows: 7 points for size, shape and colour; 7 points for condition; 6 points for uniformity. The overall mark will therefore be out of a total of 60.
All vegetables are to be displayed for effect. The vegetables must be displayed within an area measuring 45cm x 6Ocm (18 x 24in), without bending any part of them. No part of any exhibit may exceed the size of the tray. A tray or board measuring 45cm x 60cm (18 x 24in) can be used to display the vegetables, or the area can simply be marked on the staging. Where a tray has a lip or edge, it is the internal measurements that must not exceed 45cm x 60cm (18 x 24in).
A black cloth is permitted, and the tray may be painted. Parsley is allowed for garnishing, but no other foliage or accessories, such as plates, sand, rings, etc., will be allowed. Onion tops maybe tied or whipped using raffia or string.

NOTES FOR EXHIBITORS AND JUDGES

Carrots and parsnips must have foliage trimmed back to 75mm (3in).
Peas and beans must be displayed with some stalk attached.
Tomatoes must be displayed with calyces (the green flower bud case).
Judges may handle exhibits, open pods, etc., to check for quality.
The tray, board or staging must not be cut or mutilated in any way at all — such as cutting holes for standing onions in.
Judges should use their discretion when judging the Top Tray class, remembering that entries may come from inexperienced exhibitors.
The points awarded should be clearly marked by the judges on the exhibitors’ cards.
Any queries that may arise, regarding anything other than the above rules, should be referred to, and decided by, the show officials.

Failure to abide by any of these rules will lead to disqualification.

TOP VASE

Competition Rules

The Bourne Valley Top Vase class is for a vase of mixed flowering stems containing a total of between five and ten stems, taken from a minimum of two different kinds of plants. Please note that it is two different KINDS of plants; two varieties of the same plant are NOT two kinds.
The display will be judged out of a total of 35 points, split into: 25 points for the colour, form, condition, quality and freshness of the flowers on display, and 10 marks for the overall presentation and effect of the flowers in the vase. The vase will be viewed from all directions. Judging of the flowers should be to the normal rules used for other classes.
Stems used in the display must be showing flowers only; no buds, seed heads or berries will be allowed.
The vase can be any shape and size and made from any material, but must be in proportion to the display. No marks are awarded for the vase itself.
No accessories whatsoever — such as bows and additional foliage — will be allowed. Foliage which is growing naturally from the flowering stem, and still attached to that stem, is allowed. Packing material — including Oasis — to keep the stem in place is allowed.

NOTES FOR EXHIBITORS AND JUDGES

Flowering stems can be taken from ANY flowering plant. The different kinds of plants need to be taken from different genera. For instance, pinks, carnations and sweet william — which are all dianthus — would not be classed as different kinds.
Only fresh, home-grown flowers can be used in the vase. No dried or silk flowers are allowed.
A vase, by definition, is any vessel that can be used to hold cut flowers and, which is taller than it is wide at its widest point.
The Bourne Valley Top Vase class is open for anyone to enter and is not intended purely for growers who regularly display single species classes at shows.
Judges should use their discretion when judging the Top Vase class, bearing in mind that the entries may come from inexperienced exhibitors.
The points awarded should be clearly marked by the judges on the exhibitors’ cards.
Any queries that may arise, regarding anything other than the above rules, should be referred to, and decided by, the show officials.

Failure to abide by any of these rules will lead to disqualification

Exhibits may be donated as raffle prizes;

Please contact Show manager or Stewards prior to raffle
